The Philosophy that allows ESOPs (Employee Share Ownership Plans) to create incredibly successful companies.

First is the philosophy of personal wealth creation. Employees are motivated by financial gain and ESOPs deliver wealth.

Second is the philosophy of cultural engagement on a personal basis. The Theory of Group Wisdom holds that groups are more successful over individuals due not to the intellect of each person but due to the social interaction of the group. ESOPs create the conditions of group success through a participative culture of engagement.

The combination of personal wealth creation and social interaction create a synergy that few non-ESOP companies can match. The results are ESOP companies with higher productivity, higher profitability, more innovation, and wealthier employees.
